Description of the invention: [Technical field of the invention]; operation of the virtual keyboard of the key "Previous technology] The traditional portable electric has several physical buttons, one of which is pressed by the group of keyboards The positioning button is located at the set of key points of the user's material #touch, 疋 position. The finger is already in a specific position of the entire group of keyboards; the second two = 2 the position of the current key, in order to properly trigger her keyboard::= The entity presses the thumb = the input button of the electronic device has gradually changed to the positioning structure without the protruding point of the key, and it is difficult to = electronically-triggering the positive two: straight [invention] The present invention relates to the kind of virtual portable Electronic device, when the application of the button is triggered, the virtual person of the portable electronic device is triggered to trigger the virtual positioning device to vibrate 'to inform the use of 201135526 TW5807PA * ' according to the present invention In one aspect, a method for operating a virtual keyboard is provided. The method includes the following steps: displaying a virtual keyboard, the virtual keyboard having a virtual positioning button; receiving a touch signal; When the touch signal determines that the virtual positioning button is triggered, it emits a vibration signal; and, according to the vibration signal, vibrates the portable electronic device. According to another aspect of the present invention, a portable electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display panel, a touch panel, a control unit and a vibration unit. The display panel is configured to display a virtual keyboard, and the virtual keyboard has a virtual positioning button. The touch panel is configured to receive a touch signal. The unit is configured to determine whether the virtual positioning button is triggered according to the touch signal. When it is determined that the virtual positioning button is triggered, the control unit sends a vibration signal. The vibration unit is configured to vibrate the portable electronic device according to the vibration signal. In order to make the above description of the present invention more obvious, the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail as follows: [Embodiment] The following is a description of the preferred embodiments. However, the contents of the embodiments are for illustrative purposes only, and the drawings are drawn to illustrate the description. It is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Further, the illustration of the embodiments also omits unnecessary elements to clearly show the technical features of the present invention. Referring to Figure 1, it is shown that the present invention is preferred. A functional block diagram of the portable electronic device of the embodiment. The portable electronic device 100 includes a display panel 102, a touch panel 104, a vibration unit 106, and a control unit 201135526, TW5807PA1 108. The portable electronic device 100 herein. For example, a cell phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), or other types of portable electronic devices. The control unit 108 is electrically connected to the display panel 102, the touch panel 104, and the vibration unit 106 to control the display. The operation of the panel 102, the touch panel 104, and the vibration unit 106. Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a schematic diagram of the screen displayed on the display panel of FIG. 1. The display panel 10 2 is used to display a set of virtual keyboards, and the φ group virtual keyboard includes a virtual positioning button K1 and a plurality of virtual buttons K2. The virtual positioning button K1 here is, for example, the number 5, which is located substantially at the center of the entire virtual keyboard. The virtual keys K2 may be other numbers or symbols. Although the arrangement of the virtual keyboards in the second embodiment is similar to the arrangement of the physical keys of the conventional portable electronic device, the present embodiment is not limited to the embodiment. For other forms. When the user's finger or a stylus triggers the virtual positioning button K1, the touch panel 104 receives the corresponding touch signal T1 (the touch signal T1 is shown in FIG. 1). The control unit 108 is configured to determine whether the virtual positioning button K1 is triggered according to the touch signal T1. When the control unit 108 determines that the virtual positioning button K1 is triggered, a vibration signal S1 is sent to the vibration unit 106. When the vibration unit 106 receives the vibration signal S1, it vibrates the body of the portable electronic device 100 (not shown), thereby informing the user that the virtual positioning button K1 has been triggered. Since the user is already familiar with the relative positional relationship between the virtual positioning button K1 and the virtual buttons 201135526 TW5807PA · 'key K2, the user knows that his finger is located at the virtual positioning button 震动1 through the vibration of the body of the portable electronic device 100. At this time, the user can complete the desired input without viewing the set of virtual keyboards displayed on the display panel 102. The following describes the operation method of the virtual keyboard of the portable electronic device 100. Referring to FIG. 3, a flow chart of a method for operating a virtual button of a portable electronic device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. In step S102, the display panel 102 displays the virtual positioning button Κ1 and the virtual buttons Κ2 (the virtual positioning button Κ1 and the virtual button Κ2 are shown in FIG. 2). Next, in step S104, when the user's finger or stylus triggers the virtual positioning button Κ1, the touch panel 104 thus receives the corresponding touch signal Τ1. Then, in step S106, the control unit 108 determines the coordinates at which the touch signal Τ1 occurs. Then, in step S108, the control unit 108 compares the coordinates of the touch signal Τ1 with the coordinates of the virtual positioning button Κ1. Then, in step S110, the control unit 110 determines whether the coordinates of the touch signal Τ1 and the coordinates of the virtual positioning button Κ1 are substantially the same. If yes, go to step S112. Then, in step S112, since the coordinate generated by the touch signal Τ1 is the coordinate of the virtual positioning button Κ1, the control unit 108 determines that the virtual positioning button Κ1 is triggered and accordingly emits the vibration signal S1. Then, in step S114, according to the vibration signal S1, the vibration unit 106 vibrates the vibration time of the body of the portable electronic device 100. By 201135526, TW5807FA1 informs the user that the finger is located at the position of the virtual positioning button K1. The vibration time can be proportional to the time when the virtual positioning button Κ1 is continuously triggered, that is, the longer the vibration time continues when the virtual positioning button Κ1 is pressed. However, this is not intended to limit the present invention, and the vibration time may be any time. The present invention does not impose any limitation on the vibration time. The operating method of the virtual keyboard and the portable electronic device using the same in the above embodiments of the present invention, when the user triggers the virtual positioning button of the portable electronic device, the portable electronic device vibrates to Φ Know that the user has triggered the virtual positioning button. When the user knows that his finger is already at the position of the virtual positioning button, the user can complete the desired input without looking at the set of virtual keyboards displayed on the display panel. In conclusion, the present invention has been disclosed in the above preferred embodiments, and is not intended to limit the invention. A person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of the invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims.
